THE BIG PICTURE NEWS

Covid and the Three Tests of Compliance – “Jesus in the wilderness faced three temptations from the Devil himself: material comfort, fame, and power. Needless to say, he declined every temptation and passed all three trials. Fairy tales too are often framed by three chances. One way to think about these last three years is a succession of compliance tests: how much liberty and good sense are we willing to surrender to the regime and on what terms? The policies seem to be constructed for just that purpose. As if to fit the model, they came in three great waves: lockdowns, masks, and vaccine mandates.” – Jeffrey A. Tucker

The tracking of the unvaccinated – “Collected for insurance providers. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quietly introduced a new program to track people who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 after they visit a doctor or go to a hospital, according to documents and a video highlighted by National File but published back in 2021.” – Christina Maas

Hardly Able – “People who ride motorcycles still care about motorcycles – as opposed to all-too-many-drivers, who view cars as appliances. Who have been conditioned to view them as such. Evidence of this disparity in attitude comes in the form of what sells – and what doesn’t. Like electric “motorcycles” – the latter being an absurdity on par with a meatless vegan double “cheeseburger.” Those don’t sell, either. And neither has the Harley LiveWire, which is the electric scooter Harley hilariously thought people who like motorcycles would buy. To be fair, Harley has sold a few LiveWires. As in 69 of them in the last quarter of 2022. Probably comparable to the number of “plant-based” (i.e., meatless) Impossible Whoppers sold by Burger King. Does anyone bother to wonder why a person who doesn’t want a burger would go to Burger King?” – Eric Peters

This One CANNOT Be Dismissed – “The author of the substack is pretty-much spot-on here. This is characteristic of an immune runaway response in the endothelium which we know is a problem with these jabs because it was demonstrated that direct endothelial damage occurred due to the presence of the spike protein even without any other part of the virus back in the fall and winter of 2020. Note that occlusive coronary artery disease (which would be extremely unusual in anyone this young) was not found. The heart attacks, in short, were not caused by a cut-off of circulation on an immediate basis into a region of the heart muscle. Heart attacks of this type occur when electrical conduction is disrupted. ” – Karl Denninger  – KARL IS REFERRING TO THE ARTICLE BELOW FROM JUSTIN HART!!!!!

Vax Injury Evidence Series: Case Study #1: Two Teens in CT Found Dead at Home – “Case study details autopsy results” – Justin Hart

Cleveland Clinic Study Destroys mRNA Injections Biggest Lie – “Cleveland Clinic study of 51,011 employees, Pfizer post-hoc analysis, and the FDA approval documents confirm mRNA biological injections cause COVID-19 infections and increase risk for severe disease.” – Karen Kingston

US Department of Defence has been running the “covid vaccine” fraud worldwide – ““[Pfizer] did not defraud the government. We delivered the fraud that the government ordered.” Sasha Latypova used these words to describe the basis on which Pfizer has requested the dismissal of a False Claims Act case brought against them for their covid “vaccines.” The US Department of Defence ordered “demonstrations” from pharmaceutical companies using the same secretive framework they use to order weapons. While telling us they were pharmaceutical products, for legal reasons they described them as emergency use authorised “countermeasures.” No pharmaceutical regulation applies to countermeasures.” – Rhoda Wilson

NEWS 

Where Do Things Stand? – “Have you forgotten the Chinese balloon incident yet? Don’t worry, you will. It was just a momentary distraction from the slow-motion crack-up of our country. And it came along with a boffo jobs report, led by hiring in “leisure and hospitality.” Oddly, the same month saw a record car re-po number, even higher than the depths of the 2009 Great Financial Fiasco — raising the question: how will all those people without cars actually get to Disney World? And what will they use for money there? America was bundled up last week, huddled beside space heaters and wood-stoves against an Arctic super-blast that also distracted us from the global warming scare-talk which the agit-prop industry has ramped up to replace the disintegrating Covid-19 story in the public’s attention-space.’ – James Howard Kunstler  – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM MR, KUNSTLER ON THE STATE OF THE NATION!!!!

America Is Once More Safe for Democracy After ‘Terrorist’ Balloon Shot Down! – “Imagine the angst of the people, especially the politicians, when a balloon floated slowly for everyone to see across these United States, gaining more and more press all the time. Of course it was a killer Chinese balloon; what else could it be? The news anchors at every mainstream media outlet in the country had the exact same story as it floated over my home state of Montana, and it was of course completely wrong. Airports were shut down, politicians were screaming, as the dire threat of a balloon filled the skies. The puppet pontificators, along with the military heads were very perplexed, and said there was an ‘indication’ that a balloon possibly from China was traveling across the country, spying on us. What a coup! Yes, in this extremely advanced technological age, China had perpetrated the perfect covert mission to get all the U.S. military secrets, by sending a balloon that could be seen by everyone floating across the most sensitive sites in America.” – Gary D. Barnett  – PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP THE STUPIDITY ABOUT THE BALLOON!!!!!  🎈

Paranoid Politics and Weather Balloons – “Cynical political manipulation as usual. First, it appears I was wrong about the ability of the USG to shoot down China’s weather balloon. However, there is a persistent caveat here—never take at face value what the government and its propaganda media “report,” especially in regard to manufactured enemies.” – Kurt Nimmo  🎈

America once again turns the other butt cheek – “America has adopted a sort of 1930s style European ‘appeasement’ strategy. Or as I call it, “turn the other butt cheek”. Chinese leaders must be aghast that they’ve been able to get away with so many brazen attacks. And it would be absurd to think their incursions will not continue. They’ve already stolen mountains of classified information, infiltrated thousands of corporate and government networks… and pre-positioned who knows how many zero-day exploits on critical cyber infrastructure. In other words, China has already given itself a major tactical advantage should any armed conflict break out. What are key policymakers in the US doing about it? Well, their top priority seems to be pushing the US military and intelligence agencies to become more woke.” – Simon Black  – SO IS CHINA A THREAT OR NOT, DEPENDS ON HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS. SIMON THINKS SO, BUT THEN AGAIN THE U.S. DOES THE SAME TYPE OF THINGS!!!

Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Suck-up – “It’s obvious that Pete Buttigieg does not take his duties as Secretary of Transportation seriously. Indulging in a secret “paternity leave” (for an infant acquired from a woman) shortly after assuming office, only to have a major port congestion scandal blow his cover, was the first clue, one of many to follow, culminating (so far) with the holiday season airport meltdowns. So, what is his real job? Quite obviously, it is to act as the ultimate suck-up for a doddering president lurching from one crisis to another,” – Thomas Lifson

Ilhan Omar’s Empire of Censorship – “The accusation of ‘Islamophobia’ is cynically being used to silence critics of woke.” – Brendan O’Neill

Tightening The Fossil Fuel Screws Even More – “The EU Clamps Down On Refined Russian Oil. While the price caps have been and likely will be impactful on the Russian economy, it must be acknowledged that the one thing the crude oil cap has not done is dissuade Putin from the path of war regarding Ukraine. Putin is still putting troops in the field, and still attempting to sieze territory in Ukraine. There is precious little reason to believe the refined products cap will have a greater impact on Putin’s determination to continue fighting. In terms of hastening the war’s end, the crude oil price cap has been a complete failure, as indeed all of the sanctions levied against Russia have been. The refined products cap will not do any better. At most it will make Putin’s war more expensive.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Departing from Africa, Pope Francis renews call to end anti-sodomy laws – “The pontiff repeated his January 25 assertion that ‘the criminalization of homosexuality is a problem that cannot be ignored.'” – LifeSiteNews – DOING SATAN’S WORK AS USUAL. AS I SAID A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. DOES HE NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GOD DESTROYED SODOM AND GOMORRAH!!!!

You May Want To Vomit After You Read About The Unspeakable Evil That Is Happening All Over America Right Now – “More kids are being sexually victimized in the United States than ever before in our entire history. As you will see below, in some cases “kids are being raped 20 to 30 times a day” and very little is being done to prevent this from happening. But this crisis is certainly not just limited to the hundreds of thousands of children that have been forced into sexual slavery. In our society today, very young children are being constantly bombarded with extremely sick and twisted sexual messaging on television, in the movies, on the Internet and in their classrooms. ” – Michael Snyder

Pompeo and the Prince – “The relationship should serve as a reminder for the U.S. to disentangle itself from the Middle East. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s enthusiasm for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia illustrates the worst of U.S. foreign policy. As secretary of state under President Donald Trump, Pompeo acted as if he were a mob consigliere for the KSA’s Mohammed “Slice‘n’Dice” bin Salman. Even the CIA blamed MbS for the murder and dismemberment of U.S. resident and dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi in October 2018. Yet Pompeo continued to visit Riyadh, defending the Saudi royals from criticism of their selfish criminality and ostentatious brutality.” – Doug Bandow  – AND DON’T FORGET, HE HAS PRESIDENTIAL AMBITIONS AS WELL. JUST WHAT WE NEED. MORE WARMONGERING!!!!

More Evidence That The West Sabotaged Peace In Ukraine – “The US empire is getting everything it wants out of this proxy war. That’s why it knowingly provoked this war, that’s why it repeatedly sabotaged the outbreak of peace after the war broke out, and that’s why this proxy war has no exit strategy. The empire is getting everything it wants from this war, so why wouldn’t it do everything in its power to obstruct peace? ” – Caitlin Johnstone

Setting the Record Straight; Stuff You Should Know About Ukraine – “On February 16, 2022, a full week before Putin sent combat troops into Ukraine, the Ukrainian Army began the heavy bombardment of the area (in east Ukraine) occupied by mainly ethnic Russians. Keep in mind, the Ukrainian Army was, in fact, shelling civilian areas along the Line of Contact that were occupied by other Ukrainians. This has all been documented and has not been challenged. So, the question we must all ask ourselves is this: Is the bombardment and slaughter of one’s own people an ‘act of war’?” – Mike Whitney

The Sound Of Balloons Bursting – “POP! Go hopes for a US labour-market slowdown allowing a Fed pivot. POP! As the US shoots down a Chinese spy balloon. POP! Go hopes for détente. POP! Goes the view China isn’t decoupling. POP! Goes the view the US is incapable of real Cold Warmongering. POP! Goes an economic balloon we shoot down in a new report” – Michael Every  🎈

Balloons and Common Sense. Lots of improbable things to consider over breakfast. – “Rugby, Balloons and Employment Data – so much to consider this morning, but what this market needs a dose of common sense, understanding of central banks, and catharsis. Real interest rates and normalisation will provide solid foundations for real growth and recovery – not market froth!” -Bill Blain

The Fed Can’t Fight What It Doesn’t Understand (VIDEO) – “I think traders are looking at the softening economic data and a pullback in some of the inflation measures that we’ve had in recent months, and they think that the Fed is done hiking now even though Powell indicated that a couple more hikes are coming.” – Peter Schiff

If You Were Hoping the Fed Would Boost Your Portfolio, Friday Was a Wake up Call – “Friday’s data just obliterated any hope of the Fed stopping its rate hikes. In case you missed it, on Friday the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) reported that its non-manufacturing PMI hit 55 in January 2023. This is a HUGE deal as the same data point was 49 in December 2022. Anything below 50 is considered to indicate an economic contraction.” – Graham Summers, MBA

What Self-Sufficient Living is About and 8 Tips on How to Achieve It – Jennifer Poindexter

Two is One, One is None (Situational Redundancy) – “What is Two is One, One is None Two is one, and one is none is an excellent method of making sure that you have all of your bases covered in the event your first option fails. That’s especially important regarding your survival gear and anything you need to survive a bad situation. However, the need for redundancy doesn’t stop with the items you have in your survival kit. Redundancy applies to all aspects of your ability to survive—knowledge, skills, and resources. Likewise, sometimes, it doesn’t apply, meaning having two of something may not be in your best interest.” – Brian Duff

Civil War Emergency Survival (Various powers are busy figuring out how to dominate and destroy other world powers) – “Wars are deadly, and a war between factions of the same country is no different. It can affect a good portion of the population, including children who are too young to take care of and protect themselves. Civil wars usually come with abuses on human rights by both civilians and the military. A civil war always ends in tragedy, no matter where it occurs. Families must craft emergency survival plans regardless of the type of emergency. Rather than pin their hopes on the government helping them out, they should rely on themselves. This is how they will avoid experiencing suffering, death and separation in evacuation camps designated by the government.” – Dave Jefferson
